Take a tour of Burberry’s new Australian 'Tales of a Trench Coat' exhibition

The British fashion house known for the impeccable craftsmanship of its iconic trench coat celebrates the history and evolution of the garment in Melbourne

This week, Burberry hosted a sophisticated evening in the Chadstone boutique to mark the opening of the newly-expanded store. The soiree also launched an in-store experience in the form of a peek behind the scenes to the work rooms and processes behind the iconic Burberry trench.

Including a display of Burberry gabardine, (the weather-proof fabric invented by Thomas Burberry for his trenches) a display showcasing the intricate inner workings of the garment and special looks from the Burberry archive - one in particular dating back to a South Pole expedition in the early 1900s. A portrait studio is also situated in the space for a limited amount of time, (and is surprisingly flattering).

The exhibition will be open during Chadstone Shopping Centre's opening hours until 21 May.
